Middle Middle School Families,
Here is a reminder of our updated information in regards to student drop off for the upcoming school year that was sent out last week.
Students that wish to eat free breakfast at school this year will be allowed to enter the cafeteria beginning at 7:45 AM. We ask that students not eating breakfast arrive no earlier than 8:00 am unless they are coming for meetings, pre-arranged reasons, or due to bus transportation.
We will be utilizing the outdoor area under the canopy for gathering when weather permits and students will enter for classes starting at 8:10. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 26th!
Thank you, Mr. Bielfeldt

Just a reminder that doors open for breakfast at 7:45, but we are asking that kids who are not eating breakfast be dropped off after 8:00 to avoid unnecessary quarantines. Parents will not be able to come in the building for drop-off. Thank you for you cooperation!
